  1. Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate compressor at engine idling speed, with controls set for maximum cooling and high blower speed, for 20 to 30 minutes to return oil to compressor.
  2. Stop engine, discharge refrigerant using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment and remove compressor from vehicle. Drain compressor oil from compressor discharge port and measure the amount. Oil is sometimes hard to drain when compressor is cool. Remove oil while compressor is warm.
  3. If the amount drained is less than 3 ounces, conduct leak tests at system connections, and if necessary, repair or replace faulty parts. Check purity of oil and adjust oil level as follows.
  4. If amount drained was above 3 ounces, oil level is right. Pour in same amount as was drained. If amount drained was below 3 ounces, pour in 3 ounces of new refrigerant oil.
